How? This is literally the exact same 'empathy limited by life experience' reasoning they used. And yes, puns are wonderful. The point is I think there has to be something deeper than the surface level conclusion if the OP is in fact a mentally healthy person, which they seem to be.

Because you don't know that:

A) OP can't relate to Peter Parker.
B) OP never had a relative die.

and as unlikely as it might be
C) OP was never caught in a web of conspiracy about their parents' death.

It was an example that had absolutely nothing to do with the evidence presented.

FWIW, I agree with you. I'm able to empathize with many characters who have many life experiences I do not, and also those characters who lack life experiences I actually have.

And yes, most people would consider that I have a shocking lack of actual romantic experience - just because that's something I haven't personally pursued doesn't stop me from understanding what it must be like for others. It's such a common media trope, I don't know how you can't relate on some level, even if you haven't personally experienced it.

It's only the same thing if that's all there is to his character.

Depending on the incarnation, he's also a dutiful nephew, a teenager, a student, a boyfriend, a friend, a guy dealing with a lot of change, someone trying to do the right thing, a photographer, gifted at science, etc.

This. A lot of people seem to be missing this part.

It's hard to relate to a character when their entire characterization is based on one particular thing that you can't relate to at all.

Hello, Batman.

And that's why so many people hate him.
